Advanced Education Programs

our mission

The mission of the Advanced Education Programs at New York University College of Dentistry is to provide a specialty-level learning experience that emphasizes health promotion and disease prevention, producing highly proficient specialists with the knowledge, skills and experience to diagnose and treat diseases, abnormalities and other conditions that affect the oral and perioral tissues.

Post-graduate education builds upon the knowledge base of a competent general dentist and broadens understanding of the biomedical sciences, behavioral sciences, and clinical sciences, as well as the social issues related to the general health and well-being of the public. The educational process reinforces both the ethical responsibility of the health care professional for the public and the keen sense of the role of the dentist as an integral and integrated member of the health professions team. Throughout their education, students will be stimulated to model values and beliefs which demonstrate the commitment of the profession to the public welfare. As part of a responsibility to the profession, intrinsic to the programs will be the encouragement of students to pursue careers in academic dentistry.

Core Curriculum

In addition to the specialty-specific curriculum, postgraduate programs at NYU College of Dentistry draw upon the talents of world-class clinicians and scientists to deliver a menu of core course topics with relevance to multiple specialties. Themes in core courses range from biological sciences to practice management. Enrollment in the various topic areas varies by program. The interdisciplinary platform strengthens relationships among residents within and between specialty programs.

The NYU College of Dentistry welcomes dentists and dental students who are interested in applying for specialty dental education to visit our programs. The visits may be scheduled for a period of one day to a maximum of two days. Visitors to the Advanced Specialty Education Programs at NYU College of Dentistry may attend lectures/seminars and may observe, but may not participate in direct clinical patient care.
